I have tried a couple of usb cables in the past, but the current cable has been working fine for months. I ended up downloading an android update on my phone, so I'll see if that fixed the problem.
I've been using Google Maps for a long time, generally with few problems. But for the past several days, it keeps freezing on my display, and sometimes the video disappears from the screen altogether. Sometimes I can press the 'home' button on the steering wheel and then the 'maps' button on...
I just got the same message four days ago for the first time. My truck is 14 months old with 8,000 miles. It has been sitting idle more than usual lately, but battery seems okay.
I've been keeping an eye open since I got my Ranger eight months ago, and have yet to see anyone else towing one behind their motorhome. We're heading out tomorrow for 12 days with the Ranger in tow.
Yeah, they have delivery. I only live a couple of miles away, so the delivery fee wasn't inconsequential for the three tons I wanted. But more important than the cost was that I didn't want a pile of stone dumped in my driveway. It was much easier to shovel off the bed where I wanted it than...
The payload capacity of mine is 1,650 pounds, so when I got several loads of river rock recently, I asked for 3/4 ton each time. I have no idea how much they actually put in, but assuming they knew what they were doing, I had a bit of buffer. It handled the load quite easily.
How do you ensure that "the Ranger will free roll" while in park? Isn't it already hooked up to your RV? If not already hooked up, how do you get the truck in position to connect?
I've had the same problem in the last three vehicles my wife and I have owned. Even with the headrest adjusted as far back as it goes, I still want it farther back. I end up reclining the seat back more than I prefer to get the headrest out of my way, but I wish there were a better solution...
Took the tonneau cover off and went and picked up some river rock for a landscaping project. Got to the stone dealer, and the guy asked how much I wanted and what I was driving. I told him I have a Ford Ranger that is rated for 1,600 pounds in the bed, so I wanted 3/4 ton. His eyebrows went...
Yeah, I've tried three different cables, two of which are good quality. Still having issues where the map freezes up (both Google Maps and Waze), and I have to unplug my phone and plug it back in to restore functionality.
I'm using a OnePlus 6, running Android 10. So, the phone is a little over two years old, but is running a pretty recent version of Android. I think I may be able to install Android 11 on my phone, and it might be worth trying.
Still having a glitchy, frustrating time with Android Auto in the Ranger. I've tried three different cables, so I don't think that is the problem. I've had Google Maps and Waze both freeze, as well as Pandora. The only "solution" was to unplug my phone and then plug it back in and then not...
I'm finding that more often than not the screen is unresponsive when driving. By that, I mean touching anything on the screen doesn't get a response. If I'm in Google Maps, for example, I can't exit out or touch a place to navigate to. I have to hit the "home" button on the steering wheel to...
I owned a 2011 Subaru Legacy, and my son has it now. It was the most reliable car I've ever owned, no problems at all. Boring? Yes. But dependable and competent, for sure.
Having said that, I'm not about to defend CR's methodology, nor their advice. I used to subscribe years ago, but...
